Ferris Bueller wearing a white t-shirt and knit leopard print vest. With a baseball jacket. God 80’s fashion was TERRIBLE! Only Ferris had the personality to pull it off that atrocious look and remain so darn likable.
Back To The Future. A 1980’s Marty McFly walks into a 1950’s diner. He’s wearing an obnoxiously puffy vest. With a button up shirt. AND a denim jacket (again TERRIBLE!). The cook promptly says to him “Hey kid what’d ya do, jump ship?”And a great quote from Mean Girls. Such a hilarious movie! In one scene the mean girls discuss their wardrobe rules to obey. If they don't obey the rules they are banned from the cafeteria lunch table. The queen bee Regina is about to be banned and arguing the wardrobe rules aren’t legit. Her drone Karen is pissed.
Karen: Those rules were real that day I wore a vest!
Regina: Because that vest was disgusting!
Finally, I asked my Dad. Because he's the only regular vest-wearer I know, that makes him my go-to guy to uncover the allure of the vest. Here’s how our phone conversation went:
Me: Hey Dad, you still wear vests, right?
Dad: Yeah I have about four. Two that I wear for work and two suede vests, one black and one brown.
Me: So clearly you’re a vest fan. What do you like about them?
Dad: I like a vest because if your shirt sucks you can still look good.
Style words of wisdom from Mike Cicalese everyone.
There are a variety of vests out there, not just in Mike’s closet. Fur and faux fur vests are supposed to be super hot for fall. Celebrity stylist and author Rachel Zoe (whom I love but most people can’t stand!) will be debuting her line of fur vests on QVC very soon. Denim vests are also quite prevalent. They are so 80's to me I just can't accept them! But below are some vests that don't make me violently ill:
Corduroy vest, Old Navy $24.50
Leather vest, Express $88
Nylon Lace, Urban Outfitters $68
So will I be purchasing a vest anytime soon? Don’t hold your breath. But never say never.
